My friend told me that the guest singer (the one doing the growls) in March of Mephisto is from a satanist band. Is that true? And is Kamelot an okay band for Christians to listen to? Thanks in advance

Teh harsh vocals on that song are by Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the whole "Satanist band" thing there, though, because I know for a fact that they've performed the song live with a Christian doing the harsh vocals (Matt Knowles of Royal Anguish). RA's bassist, Sean Tibbets is, if I remember properly, a former member of Kamelot, and he's done the "fill in" thing for Kamelot on tour several times as well. Chances are, they just liked they way Shagrath's vocals sound, and invited him to guest on the track because his sound fit the part.

As far as the whole "are they acceptable" thing? there IOS no easy or singular "correct" answer to that. You'll get as many different answers to that question as there are metal loving Christians out there....the best thing to do is examine the lyrics and the message (if there IS one, other than fictional storytelling), and decide for yourself thru prayer and introspection how their impact upon you meshes with Scripture.
